Plastics . . . Part of our Lives, but a Problem if Not Used Properly.

High Density PolyEthylene (HDPE) Plastics, also known as #2's are an integral part of products across all industry segments. But virgin plastics resins have some significant drawbacks:

• If not re-used, they stay in landfills forever
• Manufacturing relies on petrochemical sources from foreign countries, because the U.S. cannot produce enough oil internally

The solution . . . Post Consumer Resins (PCR) provided by Envision Plastics

Meeting Today's Sustainability Requirements

• More clients are requiring PCR to reduce their overall carbon footprint
• You will use less colorant materials with Prisma
• Creates a Cradle-to-cradle life-cycle for the product (milk jugs, water bottle)
• Displacing virgin consumption
• Can mine plastic out of landfills
• Plastic can be used for energy. HDPE is derived from Natural Gas, as such has little to no toxins as part of it composition. Because of this, it actually provides a higher BTU output than wood, making it desirable as a fuel source, but it is still more economical to use as a solid material.
• A new study of retail and manufacturing-related companies shows that more than 65% of the respondents have a sustainable packaging policy in place and an additional 28% are developing such a policy. Where are you at in your sustainability policies?
